To find the foot of the perpendicular from the point \( P(0, 2, 3) \) to the line given by the equations \( \frac{x+3}{5} = \frac{y-1}{2} = \frac{z+4}{3} \), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Parametrize the line The line can be expressed in parametric form. Let \( \lambda \) be the parameter. From the given equation, we can write: - \( x = 5\lambda - 3 \) - \( y = 2\lambda + 1 \) - \( z = 3\lambda - 4 \) ...
